New owner here!

I picked up a 1990 Comanche from another member here. She took great care of this truck. I will bring it to the final stretch cosmetically. She had taken care of most the running issues. Haven't had a manual vehicle in 25 years.  I've repaired the speedo, put LED lamps for the dash and got the TPS adjusted according to a write up here. Truck starts up without needing to step on the accelerator pedal while cranking.

Welcome to CC. Is it already in the registry? If not please add it, thanks.

Look into your front grille. ↑↓ Make sure it's installed properly. Welcome to CC.

That looks like a nice truck!

Looking clean my guy

Thanks guys! Regarding the grille is it installed upside down? And yes, this is already on the registry from previous owner. I have been secretly sourcing cosmetic parts such as door handles, carpet, interior trim bits and the like. My wife knows I am OCD and if given the green light, I could easily spend three times the value of this bringing it up to like new appearance!

Yea, from that side view shot, looks upside down. Check out other photo's, you'll see.

Thanks! Honestly, I am surprised it didn't sell sooner. PO says there were many tire kickers and low ballers. I offered less and we negotiated to a perfect number. To be honest, I acted quickly knowing there were alot of junky trucks out there. I can fix mechanical, but I can't do body work. The less it needed the hopefully more affordable the paint.

I had redone the interior with new upholstered seats, carpet and overall refresh. Now it's time for the outside to match the inside. Stripped the truck down to allow paint shop to do their magic. Although there is no real rust aside from some previously pitted repairs around the windshield, the truck has minor dings and dents. It had been repainted by Maaco in 2004 and the paint is showing its faded age. Along the way it had been buffed out to the point of no salvation. Yesterday Justin of Arrow paint came to pick up my truck to do his magic. His shop is about 40 min from my house and I couldn't drive the truck legally the way it was!
